Met two huge inspirations and horror icons at Motor City Comic today! Kate Siegel and Mike Flanagan have made so many bangers that I love with all my heart. It was an incredible privilege to meet both of them and they were so incredibly kind and warm. Sometimes meeting your heroes is the best.

Saw the new PREDATOR last night and absolutely loved it! A badass blockbuster with bone crushing sci-fi action, Predator Badlands is a great addition to one of my favorite franchises that needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Already want to see it again!

And on the day I am to see Predator: Badlands? Shame

Had a wonderful time going back to my Alma Mater to showcase SPIDER along with horror films from other Spartan alumni. Everyone who knows me knows my love for Michigan State University, so being able to go back to show my work to the next generation of filmmakers was an absolute dream.

I’m so excited that SPIDER will be showing tonight at 7pm at the MSU Film Collective! I’m so honored that my film and films of other Spartan alumni are playing to current MSU students. My MSU friends can attend this free event in room B122 of Wells Hall. Go Green!!! 💚💚💚
